Optimal age of the donor graft tissue in relation to cultured pearl phenotypes in the mollusc, Pinctada margaritifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Ageing is defined as the progressive decline in tissue and organ functions over time. This study aims to evaluate the ageing effect on cultured pearl quality phenotypes (including size and quality traits) in the graft-recipient animal model: Pinctada ...

Larval dispersal modeling of pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera following realistic environmental and biological forcing in Ahe atoll lagoon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Studying the larval dispersal of bottom-dwelling species is necessary to understand their population dynamics and optimize their management. The black-lip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) is cultured extensively to produce black pearls, especially ...

Investigating Dissolved Glucose as an Alternative Nutrient Source for Bivalve Larvae. [PDF]
Aquac NutrThe production of live microalgae represents a major cost in the operation of bivalve hatcheries, as it is the primary food used for larval rearing. This study investigated whether dissolved glucose could reduce the reliance on live microalgae as a sole feed input without negatively affecting bivalve larval performance during the rearing of Greenshell™

A Parallel Population Genomic and Hydrodynamic Approach to Fishery Management of Highly-Dispersive Marine Invertebrates: The Case of the Fijian Black-Lip Pearl Oyster Pinctada margaritifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fishery management and conservation of marine species increasingly relies on genetic data to delineate biologically relevant stock boundaries. Unfortunately for high gene flow species which may display low, but statistically significant population ...

Donor and recipient contribution to phenotypic traits and the expression of biomineralisation genes in the pearl oyster model Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Grafting associates two distinct genotypes, each of which maintains its own genetic identity throughout the life of the grafted organism. Grafting technology is well documented in the plant kingdom, but much less so in animals. The pearl oyster, Pinctada

Combining population genomics, larval dispersal modelling and graph theory to reveal connectivity patterns of the black-lipped pearl oyster in French Polynesia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnravelling the mechanisms driving marine connectivity in open ocean environments remains a challenge, particularly for bentho-pelagic species, where larval dispersal further complicates analysis.

Leucettamine B and nacryline derivative promote the first steps of endochondral ossification in vitro [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNowadays, there is a lack of pharmacological interventions designed to stimulate endochondral ossification (EO) in long bone fracture healing. In the search for new active compounds, marine organisms, particularly calcarea sponges and pearl oysters were ...

Morphometric measurements of pearl shell shells Pinctada margaritifera for aquarium cultivation
Jurnal Moluska Indonesia, 2022 The pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera or the black-lipped oyster is one of the important species used in the pearl industry. The availability of natural pearl oyster seeds is limited, while exploitation is increasing.
